FYI, I'm going to revert code back to its original version to fix  
this problem. Constants appear to be broken in the test suite and  
elsewhere.  It's been awhile, but as far as I can recall, rawval is  
the value of a character constant, with quotes, and appropriate  
escaping so that it can be emitted as a C string literal.   Messing  
around with this is dangerous and likely to break lots of things.
